From The Golden Thread Mailbag …
List Brokers
Hi Pat,
I’m writing to ask a rather curious question. Do you know where I could rent … buy … gain access to mailing lists? I’m asking for a client who is currently looking for lists to send an email campaign promoting her book and online course.
I thought I’d ask you since this client found me on the Direct Response Jobs site. Thank you AWAI!! We’ve developed a great relationship. I have written numerous projects for them and now they need some promotional help – specifically, obtaining lists for purchase. Any ideas?

You can find them through the Direct Marketing Association and/or trade papers like DMNews or Target Marketing. Bob Bly even lists a few that he recommends on his website, www.bly.com.
Good Luck!
Hello Pat,
Yes, I am finally buckling down and starting the copywriting program that I signed up for last September. (Hey, better late than never!) I am enjoying the program, and have already learned so much. I am an extremely stressed-out meeting planner who is determined to launch my freelance copywriting business this year. That was my New Year’s resolution, and I plan to stick to it. My background is marketing and meeting planning, and I used to write copy about 10 years ago. I’m a little rusty and the AWAI program is helping me get up to speed … and teaching me so many things that I never knew!

Good for you, Karen! As you said, “Better late than never!”
That’s it for this week. Thanks to one and all – and keep those emails coming!
Pat
